Im looking for a nice tweed jacket which is preferably not too expensive.

Im a size 10-12 which i think i've work out is 36" please correct me if wrong.

I have found a nice caldene one online at Robinson's, it's £70 would you say this is reasonable?

Any help to find one is much appreciated.
 
Try your local tackshop- then you can try them all on until you find the perfect fit! Buying online is nowehere near as good imo, and you an often get better deals from local places, especially if they know you.
 
Go to a tack shop if you can and try several on.

I had to buy mine on the internet as all the local tackshops sold either the wrong colour or the jacket was extortionately expensive. In the end I got a Shires Huntingdon in green check, it's really well made and very smart. I got mine from Barnstormers and it was £70 I think

I'm a 8-10 and bought a 32".
 
I don't really have a local tack shop, i live in the middle of no where, my nearest one is 45mins away and as i don't have a car is well.... not viable atm Also i work 9-5 weekends and most weekdays so again not viable

I have no option really other then to order online, I can always send it back if it doesnt fit.

I've never really had a problem buying coats! but as the jackets are in inches not really sure lol
 
I'm a 10-12 and wear a size 34" Caldene jacket.

It's slightly too short for me but I am stupidly tall!

Is it the Southwold you're looking at? I have it in green and it's a lovely jacket, I have pics of me me wearing it somewhere if you want to see how it fits.

Oooo yes it's the southwold, I would love to see a pic if poss. I'm liking it in caramel
 
In that case you will probably want the 36", mine is a tad short at the sleeves when riding but I couldn't send it back as I needed it for that show, lol. I ordered mine from Equestrian Clearance for around £70 and it was with me within 48 hours, I can highly recommend them.
